05. Can I place my membership on hold while I am away for one month or longer?

Members may place their memberships on hold up to twice per year for a cumulative maximum of (4) four months. All membership privileges will be suspended for the duration of the hold period. The term of memberships placed on hold will be extended for the hold period.

A $10.00 administrative fee for each full or partial month of the hold period must be paid in advance at the time the hold request is submitted, and do not include applicable taxes. Requests for membership holds must be submitted using the form requested by ROO at least 5 business days prior to the proposed start date and must specify the duration of the hold period.

06. Can I cancel my membership?

Members wishing to cancel their membership must submit their cancellation in person at the Facility, at least 5 business days prior to the requested cancellation date. A charge to cover the administration of the membership cancellation must be paid at the time the cancellation request form is submitted.

For all Monthly Continuous memberships, with the exception of Child Memberships, the following cancellation fees apply:

$150 will be charged for memberships cancelled within twelve (12) months of the initial activation date.

$75 will be charged for memberships cancelled between twelve (12) – twenty-three (23) months of the initial activation date.

Upon approved payment of the charge, and any remaining unpaid balance on the account, the cancellation will be processed as per the cancellation date stipulated on the form.

A $150 cancellation fee is applicable to Annual Paid in Full Memberships if cancelling within one year. Upon payment of the cancellation fee, any time remaining on the membership will be refunded on a pro-rated basis.

Cancellation fees will only be waived for active memberships of twenty-four (24) consecutive months or longer, including holds, or if the Member provides the Operator written evidence of: (i) a medical condition preventing use of the Facility, or (ii) a change of residence to a location more than 30km from the Facility. This cancellation policy may be amended by the Operator at any time with 30 days notice to the Member.

Any One Month Passes, Ten Visit Passes, or promotional memberships are not eligible for holds, cancellations, refunds or extensions. Cancellations will not be accepted by phone.

07. What are my payment options?

Monthly continuous membership: your monthly dues will be electronically deducted from either your chequing account (the Oval will need a void cheque to activate this payment method) or a credit card account. We accept VISA, MasterCard and AMEX.

Annual paid in full membership and other membership types: memberships are paid in advance at the time of registration using debit, credit card or cash.

08. Can my family use my member rates for programs?

As an Oval member, I receive discounts on registered programs. Can I sign up a friend or family member for a program at the member discount price?
